How to patch dwl?
Patching autostart:
-
steamvr now working on DWL
If any of you have attempted to use SteamVR with DWL then you probably ran into the same issue I did. It doesn't have support for DRM leasing, so it can't actually show an image on the headset.

Can someone recommend a compositor to me?
Have you checked DWL which is DWM for Wayland? I haven't tried it yet so I can't say anything more.

Master and Stack setup
There's a python script called stacki3 that works both on i3wm and sway. There is also a dwm clone for wayland called dwl.

I actually use linux because its objectively better
I currently use dwl which is much, much lighter than i3 and suits my needs. On my laptop I just don't have a window manager of any kind installed, I can get by with lynx and the TTY.

Help needed with Wayland (riverwm and dwl) on Void Linux
I wanted to try two wayland compositors out (specifically dwl and river) and cannot for the life of me seem to get it working properly. I am currently doing this inside a VirtualBox vm.

xorg sucks, use swc
Combine this with the velox dwm-inspired window manager and you have yourself a full graphical wayland environment in about 12k sloc. I don't really see a reason to keep xorg so I will be purging it from all of my machines.

X is Boomer
Combine this with the velox tiling-wm (2897 sloc), and you have a full, hackable tiling wm in about 13k Lines of static C code.
